A Call to Cattle Men.

To the cattle men of Pinal county: Whereas, it having come to the notice of the undersigned cattle men, that there is located in our midst a notorious cattle thief, who has been caught recent ly in the act of marking and storing ava calves belonging to his neighbors, with intent to convert the same to his own use, and to deprive the owners thereof. And, whereas the said noted thief is aided and assisted by persons of some means and influence, that in our opinion are sharing in the profits of this nefarious business. Therefore we the undersigned cattle men deem it expedient, that all cattle men in good standing meet in Flor. ence on Saturday, August 18th, for the purpose of forming protective organiza- ton.

The Sun Is Not Blue,

A year ago Professor Langley, the dis tinguished American astronomer, per. formed an experiment in the theatre of the Royal institution to show that the true color of the sun is blue. He argued that the atmosphere cut of large pro- portion of the blue rays, and that, if the observer could get beyond it, the sun would look blue. Capt. Abney, in a lecture on Sunlight Colors," rejected this experiment, adopting Prof. Langley's figures with mathematical accuracy, but dispensing with his paper disks, which this lecturer held vitiated the result, and he showed that the color of the sun was not blue, but very nearly that of the white light to be seen at high elevations in clear, dust-free atmosphere. e.-London Telegraph.

The Mexican family that arrived in Florence about three weeks ago with a child sick with smallpox, has been dis charged from the pesthouse, cured. All the members came down with the disease and had the weather not been so favor. able the results might not have been so satisfactory Upon being discharged all their effects were burned and they were provided with new clothing throughout. That the disease did not spread and no other cases have appeared is credit to the health officer, Dr. Harvey. and to the county officials who exerted every possible effort to prevent the pest from gaining a foothold.

The Florence Canal.

All accounts represent this canal as one of the largest irrigating enterprises ever undertaken on the Pacific coast. Ten miles of the work is about complet- ed. The canal is about twenty five feet wide at the bottom with strong embank- ments not less than five feet wide on the top at any point. The work of putting in the headgate where the water will en- ter ill the canal from the Gila river ten miles above Florence is well advanced. The headgats will be completed in three or four weeks, and by the first of Sep tember the canal will be filled with wa ter to point opposite Florence. The most difficult and expensive portion of the work is completed. The balance of the construction will be through less diff ficult ground and therefore less expen- sive
 The work is being conducted under the supervision of D. s. Thomas. Esq. the president of the company, aided by a competent corps of engineers and as- sistants. The inhabitants of this beauti- full and prosperous town of Florence can congratulate themselyes that MT. Thom- as and his associates have undertaken, and carried to such an advanced stage this important work. In appearance it looks like one of those old time canals constructed by the state of New York to float canal boats and carry on commerce between the ocean and the lakes. When completed the canal and its branches will be about fifty-four miles long and will furnish water to irrigate one hundred and fifty thousand acres of as rich and productive land as the sun shines on. Within few years not less than thirty thousand people will be cultivating the lands along the borders of, and irrigated by this great canal. All honor to the promoters of the Florence canal, they are the kind of people Arizonians should encourage. A few more such enterPrises and Arizona would rival the richest and most productive portions of southern California Star.

Special ad, ices from Florence confirm the reported settlement of the canal trouble. This news we trust is correct, as it would be nothing less than criminal on the part of the government to attempt to arrest the progress of inc canal, after so much labor and m oney has been expen- ded on it. That the growth of thriv- ing and enterprising white community should be stopped because of few dirty, shiftless Indians, almost staggers belief, aud we are pleased therefore to chronicle settlement in favor of deserving in- dustricus people.-Tucson Citizen.

When one is happy, one does not seem to go forth into strange country, but to enter into one's own land.

There was lsughable jail delivery at the county jail on Sunday plight. Among the new acquisitions to the premises were couple of Mexieans who drank not wisely but too well. They were in fer simple and plain drunkenness:and nothi og more. As the darkness of night came on one of them remembered that he had an engagement with pretty senorita at 8 baile that night, and you know love laughs at locksmiths, even when it is smilmgly mixed with mescal. He found a sharpened stick and charged valiantly on the adobe filling of 8 place where a previous break had been made, ,and-well he probably fulfilled his engagement with the lady, for he has not since been found. His companion, however, was caught very soon after he left the jail and was returned to ponder over the unequal distribution of favors by the purveyor of fun.

Good Mines.

The metallic wonders of Mineral Hill will certainly some day lead to the esta b. lishment of large reduction works at that point to treat the vast ore bodies that are there known to exist. As a rule the ore is not high grade, but its abund- ance more than compensates for this questionable fault. Plenty of fiuxing materials are conveniently at hand, in cluding lead, iron and limestone, and although somewhat refractory and rebel lious ores are encountered 1t Is believed that nature has likewise provided in close proximity all the necessary elements to its successful treatment.
 Among the many mines of that vicin- ity, and there are scores of very valua- ble properties, may be named the Time Keeper, Jones Knob and the Morgan, the group being owned by Messrs. Pat Hol- land, c, W. Tillman and Pat Morgan.
 These contiguous properties are only fifteen miles east of Florence and six miles north of the Gila river, and com prise property apparently intended to en gage the attention of an enterprisinR mining company as a lasting and legiti- mate business. The Time Keeper now has an 80-foot shaft which will be soon pushed down to an even hundred feet.
 At the bottom of the crosscut 1t shows ledge forty feet wide between walls, the ore of which will assay from $5 to $50 per ton in gold and silver across its en- tire width. The best ore lies next the hanging wall, and from this part of the ledge It is intended to make test ship. ment to smelter. The ore is somewhat rebsllious in character, but the body is so large and the average value so highly satisfactory that some big company will yet make fortune out of it.
 There is plenty of water on an adjoin- ing claim for camp purposes and hoisting works, while a natural road leads to the river six miles distant.
 The same features extend to the other claims in the group and together they implore men of means to participate in the feast of riches they hold in their laps.
 Indeed they are worthy of attention of any one who contemplatss engagiug in mining upon a correct and legitimate business basis.

Pictures OF tho Rival Craft Under Full
Sail.
That the admiration of true seamanship has
not departed from American yachtsmen il
evidenced by the interest taken in the ocean
race shortly to be sailed between the scliooncrs
Dauntlcss and Coronet. Yacht club houses
everywhere arc thronged in tho evenings ly
yachtsmcn, eager to discuss every point in
reference to The race. And the public crowd
about the docks in New York to catch u
glimpse of tho contestants during their
preparation for the trip.
or late years the majority OF yachtsmen
have taken TO the steam yacht, which is sim
ply n floating machine operated by an en-
ginccr and pilot, requiring but little skill or
experience in handling. The sailing vessel
on the other hand requires both skill and ex-
pericncc in IA great degree, together with
bravery and endurance on tho part OF the
navigatorS.
The owner of the Coronet, r. |. Bush,
posted n challenge on the first Of the year, in
viting "owners OF all American keel schooner
yachts to compete with his vessel Sin a race
across the Atlantic, from Sandy Hook to
Queenstown This challenge was backed by
n certified check for $4,000.
TIT Coronet is one of the finest and largest
sailing yachts afoat. She was put in com
mission only n year ago, and proved herself a
very fleet and staunch craft. Last summer
her owner with his family took a trip in hor
across the Atlantic to Europe and back, and
it is Mr.. Bush's purpose, when his sons com
pleto their collegiate course, to take them
with him on n trip around the world before
establishing them in business life.

The Game Cock and the Gobbler.


II had a game chicken once" said another
OF the gossipers, "that l thought was invinci
BILE. He whipped everything on tho planta-
ton and then wanted to ia ;kle tho yard dog.
1 was very proud OF him. Finally one day
a stray turkey gobbler came on the premises
and took up his abode there. For a day or
two there was no war. My rooster, it is true,
followed the gobbler around and picked uI
gravel in front of him, and once or twice
made a point of jumping him, but the gobbler
seemed determined to attend to his own bust
ness. About the third morning, however, ]
heard u peculiar noise in the yard. l heard the
queer 'prut-prut-prut' Of the gobbler and then
something that sounded like n scuffle. l raised
o window and found that the game chicken
and the gobbler were engaged in wal. / want
ed to go out and keep the rooster from killing
the gobbler; nevertheless, l was interested In
watching the result, never doubling what II
would be.
"The rooster was full of fight, and made
frequent assaults on the gobblcr. The latter
was walking around in IA circle, uttering his
peculiar cry, and l noticed that every time
the rooster flew at him he merely dropped one
OF his wings receiving the attack on that. This
continued for some time, until finally the COB
bier darted toward, seized the rooster by the
pack OF the neck and proceeded to lead him
around in a circle. The gobbler widened the
circle until he brought the rooster in contact
with the fence. This was apparently the point
at which the gobbler had been aiming, for be
had no sooner reached 1t than he proceeded to
jam my ROSTERS head against the pickets, and
before | could interfere my game chicken

PROPOSED GRANT MEMoRIAL.

The bridge is to be 1850 feet long. II will
have fifteen steel arches with a drawbridgc
of 16O feet span. Sixteen granite towers give
picturesqueness to tho structure. 1t will
ave a carriage way 40 feet in wide. and the
sidewalks 10 feet in width.
The bill states that "the design is most APP
propriate as symbolical of the restored Union,
across the Potomac river, which divided the
north from the south in the tremendous strug-
gle in which the services of Gen. Grant were
so conspicuously valuable, leading from the
national capital to the sacred ground where
lie buried Il, 900 men who died for the Union"
The site selected for the bridge is certainly
n very fortunate one. 1t will always possess
great historical interest. In 1875 n portion
of Braddock's army camped on Observatory
hill on the march from Alexandria to the
fatal field ON the M~onongahela. On the Po-
tomac bank is a rock on which the troops
were landed known as Braddock's rock. 1t
is from this point in the rear of tho Naval
observatory, near the foot of New York and
New Hampshire avenues, that the bridge is
to begin in Washington. 1t was a f~avorite
project OF the Father of His Country to es-
tablish a national university on that very
spot, and here it was also that the Ameri-
can army encamped in 1914 and ad.
vanced to Bladensburg for the defense of the
city against the English, and if the bridge
now proposed be built, from here will go from
year to year thousands to strew flowers on
tho graves of the dead in the beautiful Ar
lington beyond.

wo.sELEY,s BLUNDER.

Gen. Wolseley's article on Gen. Robert
Il. Lee is full not only of absurdities. but
of laughable errors Of fact. He speaks of
Gen. Lee as commanding the rebel troops
at the first Bull Run, and says hat he
would have captured Washington il he
had not been overruled by the Confederate
politicians.
Gen. Lee was neither in command nor
present at the battle of Bull Run. He
was at that time and for months afterward
in command and constructing the defenses
at Richmond. The battle of Bull Run
was fought by Gen. Beauregard and by
Joseph Il. Johnston.
